    JAPAN ABANDONING NUCLEAR

    After quake, Japan ends bid to boost nuclear power
    Mari Yamaguchi, May 11, 2011 (AP via SF Chronicle)

    "Japan will scrap a plan to obtain half of its electricity from nuclear power and will instead promote renewable energy and conservation as a result of its ongoing nuclear crisis, the prime minister said…

    "Naoto Kan said Japan needs to 'start from scratch' on its long-term energy policy after the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant was heavily damaged by a March 11 earthquake and tsunami and began leaking radiation."

    "Nuclear plants supplied about 30 percent of Japan's electricity, and the government had planned to raise that to 50 percent by 2030…[To its “pillars” of nuclear and fossil fuel] the government will add two more pillars: renewable energy such as solar, wind and biomass, and an increased focus on conservation…Kan also said he would take a pay cut beginning next month until the Fukushima nuclear crisis is resolved to take responsibility as part of the government that has promoted nuclear energy. He didn't specify how much…

    "The operator of the stricken power plant, Tokyo Electric Power Co., has been struggling for nearly two months to restore critical cooling systems that were knocked out by the disaster. Some 80,000 people living within a 12-mile (20-kilometer) radius of the plant were evacuated from their homes on March 12…"

    "…[A]bout 100 evacuees were allowed into that exclusion zone briefly to gather belongings from their homes…provided with protective suits, goggles and face masks to wear in the zone…given dosimeters to monitor radiation levels…[and] screened for radiation contamination after leaving…

    "…[R]esidents fear they may never be able to return for good…Many had been secretly sneaking back into the zone during the day, but the government - concerned over safety and the possibility of theft - began enforcing stricter roadblocks and imposing fines."

    There is a new solution for power in the horizon; they called the 1 MW Phoenix. Line up in series, it can produce more power that all the nuclear power plant in Japan, with out consuming any fuel or putting out any waste or pollution what so ever…

    I personally participated in the private energy event in Oklahoma were is being consider one of the manufacture site for this new power plants, and witness the scalable machine of the future, running at less that 100 rpm the mobile unit put electricity like no other.

    The power plant uses water as a fluid to run, but it recycles the water constantly never consuming it, and what was truly amazing was that the unit was open with no box or insulation and the noise was no more than a soft stream of water.

    They are ready and taking orders with a fabricating facility located in Florida, for the 1-mega watt unit, in a container of 20 feet and 18,000 lbs… they can deliver 100s per years if requested.

    This is truly a mobile solution that promise true energy independence for the world. The unit can be located locally behind any building with out the extensive wiring to move electricity from central locations.

    They were also promoting PPA’s with out any cost to the consumer, few financial investor were lining up to participated in the opportunity

    Any one interested in buying one, or considering lowering their electricity with a PPA contract can contact at one of their independent sale rep.

    I hope that this help, because there is truly a beautiful solution that is worth looking in to it

    God bless the people of Japan

    Thank you
